Ain't nothing like a pajama party, is it? Nothing in the world like a pajama party

But tonight, y'all, it's adults only. We're going to get pampered, y'all, with some massages

and we're going to make pajama party foods all grown up. Listen, y'all, there is not a greater girl

to kick off our pajama party than the girl I'm fixing to bring out

I want y'all to give a warm welcome to my friend, Amy Sedaris

Come on out, Amy! Woo! Woo! Oh, my God

Some snacks for later. That's, Maya, nice to meet you, Kate. three tears, four tears

I love olive blows. Really? Yes, I love salami. Mm-hmm. Well, there you go

It's all you can eat. I love it all. Take it to bed. What all did you do at pajama parties

Smoked it up. No, um, what are you doing? Pajama parties. You know, how old were you when you had your first, like, we weren't allowed to spend the

night at someone else's house until we were 13. Really? Don't judge me

Yeah, no, really. Yeah, we were, like, 13. By the time I was 13, we were

I had my first daughter. Oh, let's see. What else? So that was my divorce at 14

Thank you. You're too funny. Listen, what are we going to cook today

Oh, well, we'd make a cheese ball, because that's light. You know, big ball of cheese

And then I think you're going to teach me how to make a meringue, because I don't know how to make meringue. I'm very intimidated by egg whites

Are you? Yes. Yeah. Here we go. Don't be scared of me

I'm going to do that. Put on your apron. Yeah, let's make a cheese ball

Okay, let's make a cheese ball. Okay. First thing you're going to do is you're going to take eight ounces of cream cheese. Yeah

Okay. Y'all, this is Amy's book. I Like You by Amy Sedaris

Hospitality Under the Influence. This is the cute... Look at this chapter

Entertaining the Elderly. Look, in big letters. Oh, my God. Isn't that cute

Look. All right. Okay. So keep making. I'm just curious. What kind of cream cheese do you like

I like the real stuff. Me too. So we're going to take eight ounces of cream cheese

Uh-huh. You just relax. I'll do it. Okay. We're going to take some, um

Okay. We're going to take about three strips of bacon. We're going to crumble it up, like so

Yeah, like so. We're going to add a half cup of mayonnaise. Good mayonnaise is, you know, I love it all

Yeah, I like it all. cheddar cheese. Okay, you're going to add some green onions. Okay. You're going to add some deal

This is like the cutest book I've ever seen. Salt and pepper. Oh, thank you very much. I shot it all in my apartment

Did you really? Yep. Yep, in the summer, which is why some of the food is fake. It was just too hot

Too hot. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Y'all have to pick up this book

It's just cute as pie. Thank you. And it's got some real tips

in it, doesn't it? No, yeah, I took it seriously. I did it. You did? It is entertaining. Alright, put down that spatula and..

And do my hands? And do, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay, so then we're going to form the ball

Keep your cream cheese at room temperature so it'll blend easily with all your ingredients

Oh, gosh, I'm supposed to be making a ball. I know. I was so enthralled with your book, girl

Yeah, whatever. Okay, so anyway, we're going to mix this up because it's so hot here

You know, you don't really need to blend it. All right, now I'm behind. So I got cream cheese. Whoa. I want to just hug your face right now

I'm going to take this off. Then you're going to form like a little pine cone

Yes. Use your artistic ability like so. Oh, my God. It's like the people are going to think you put this in fast forward motion or whatever

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay. Uh-huh. Okay. Now we're going to, um, I'll show you the fit, and you're going to decorate it with these almonds

Oh, my God. So it's like a pine cone. Oh. Oh. Ain't it good

Deliciously disgusting. Oh. Isn't it delicious? You did a good job forming that one nut

I've done balls before, girl. You have. Oh, I'm sure you have. This ain't my first ball

Y'all, toasting the almonds, that'll help enhance and bring out their flavor

All right. Okay, what's going on? So a little rosemary right here. Yeah, just to make it look like a pine cone

Uh-oh, I need some scissors. Yes. I'm going to use my witchcraft right here

And then, as you see, this is what it's going to look like. Oh, lovely. Gorgeous

Amy is gorgeous. Gorgeous. And you need a little bit of rosemary for this

I could never make one look this good. Well, I broke my rosemary. Wow, you're really good at that

How old were you when you started cooking and stuff? I'm just curious. Oh, 36, 37, something like that

Oh. Ages ago. No, I actually, Amy started at 18 when I got married

You got married at 18? Yes, I did. Is it the same guy? Oh, same guy

No, no different guys. Oh, let's talk about that. Have you been married

Yes, have you been married? I have an imaginary boyfriend, Ricky, and I've been with him for like 16 years

No, it's perfect. He only visits during the holidays. But he's a little transparent, but we work

So many flavors. And then you can chase it with some meat. Mmm

Oh, my God. That is delicious. Mm. Listen, y'all don't go anywhere

because our party has just started. We're going to stay up all night long

Coming up you won believe who crashing my pajama party Let's go, Liano

Joey Pants with his mahi-mahi wrap. And later, Amy Sedaris is back

And together, we're gonna conquer her fear of lemon meringue, y'all. Now for the fun part

Ha ha ha! Y'all welcome back here at Paula's tonight

We're having a spend the night party. And we're having fun, aren't we

We got our masseuses over here. We got our cookies and milk on the table

And you know, probably the most fun part of our spend-the-night parties

were when the boys crashed. Wasn't it, girls? That was the absolute best part

Well, I got a party crasher for you. You're not going to believe it when you see him

because, you know, you're hoping that when the boys do crash your spend-the-night party

that they're the cutest and the funniest. Well, I got y'all a cute, funny one for this party

Joe Pantoliono has been in movies like La Bamba, The Matrix, and Daredevil

And y'all, he's one of the stars of the hit show The Sopranos

Joey Pants, come on out, baby. Ha ha ha ha ha! Look at all these women

He is really good. Ha ha ha ha! Hey, there are a lot of pretty girls

Can I stay another night? Absolutely. You can spend another night with us, Jake

Where were you last night? I was walking all over. Hey, wait a minute. How come you're not wearing pajamas

He is on the pajamas. I'm wearing my bedroom hat, though. What's underneath that hat

Nothing. Whoa! Do you know I love a bald-headed man? Well, then I'm going to keep this off, darling

All right. Oh. Rub it for luck, baby. Rub it for luck

The dish that you're going to share with us today, Joey, has really had to kind of change his diet

So we're making Mahi Mahi lettuce wraps. What I've done is I've embraced all the things that I can eat, that I love

and I've substituted stuff instead of, like, with the taco we're going to make today

instead of using the carb shell, which is normally deep fried, I'll use a lettuce cap

You're watching your weight, so I want you to show us. You know that, whoa, look at you

Look at you go, Joey. I put the fish there. Then I was there

All right, let's turn on your grill. Okay, so you're going to season it with salt and pepper

Now, Joey, while you're cooking, I want to talk to you. I don't know if y'all noticed, but Joey's a lot lighter

probably, than you've seen him in the past. You've lost 35 pounds

35 pounds. And with Pantoliano. See? That's how you say it

Cheater. Cheater. I'm going to cheat it. Listen, I've got a southern tongue, Joey

I'm doing good with Smith and Jones. You know, Pantoliano. No, see, they did it wrong

They call him Joey Pants. Joey Pants. And why do they call you Joey Pants

Pantoliano means pants in Italian. And most folks can't say that last name, too

I can't either. Well, listen, you know, I come from a fairly big southern crazy family

The accent's authentic. Yeah, it's authentic. Folks, you know, I've read where folks say, she's faking that accent

Oh, my God. No, she's not. You would not fake this. You would not fake this kind of accent

I like it. I like it a lot. Thank you, and I like your accent, too. Forget about it. Thank you

But Joey comes from a big southern Italian, a big Italian family

from the South. Joisey. No, from the South. You were right. Avellino, Naples is Southern Italy

Uh-huh. That's where they come from originally. So we got a lot in common. So you're right. We're from the South

We got a lot in common. I'm half Italian, half Jewish. Uh-huh. Well, Joey has had the most interesting life

It's been all right. You're just cute as a bug in a rug, baby

Thank you. Thank you. And I love that bald head. Why don't you finish swallowing that squirrel

I've got to grow hair anywhere I can. How many movies have you been in

Like a hundred. I think so. I mean, the way they pay me, I've got to be in a hundred

Now, Paula, look. A little olive oil on the fish. That's just going to enhance the flavor

So, now you have worked, like, with... The greats and the near greats

The greats and the near greats. I mean, you've worked with Tom Cruise. You've worked with Harrison Ford

Yes, ma'am. Billy Crystal. Yes, ma'am. Who else? I mean, you have..

Well, they've worked with me, actually. And I hear they think I'm great

You know, I love that attitude. And... I'm going to put a little oil on this side, okay

Yes, ma'am. And Mahi Mahi is so firm, y'all. It works very well on the grill

All right, can y'all name Ms. Movies? Abombo! La Bamba. La Bamba

Matrix. Risky Business. What? That's right. And The Fugitive. Were you in that one

Yeah. The Fugitive. What? The Goonies. Yeah. The Lady and who? Eddie and the Cruisers

Eddie and the Cruisers. And you are doing a fine job. Listen, y'all don't go anywhere

We'll be back in just a minute with more Joey stories. Woo! Woo

And lettuce wrapped. Mahi, Mahi. Yeah. Don't go anywhere. Don't go anywhere

Joey's in the house. Up next, I'm wrapping in the kitchen with Joey Pants

Joey, that is delicious. And later, my best girlfriend and I recreate our favorite slumber food, onion burgers

You cannot have a slumber party without your best friend. Woo

Welcome back, y'all. I'm here in the kitchen with my friend Joey Pants

Look at this. And Joey, it looks delicious, Joey. I keep it a little bit rare, medium rare

Uh-huh, uh-huh. And you don't really slice it. You kind of chunk it

Chunk it up. Yeah, chunk it up. And if you don't like mahi-mahi, you can substitute any white fish

So, Joey, now tell us what the name of your dish is. This is a piche a la pepe de pence Now you really call this mahi Mahi Raps Mahi Mahi Raps I rapping with you baby

My buddy Rich Pepe and I have been in the restaurant business our whole lives

Oh, come on. I didn't know you were in the restaurant business. Yeah, but we got Cafe Napoli in Carmel and we had a multicultural Chinese restaurant in Norwalk, Connecticut

Okay, so you've got some chopped avocado. Mango? Mango. Red onions. Red onions

Or purple onions. Whichever. Tomatoes. Tomatoes. And cilantro. Cilantro. With a little... Jalapenas

And lime juice. But you could substitute that with lemon juice, y'all, if you don't have lime

All right, you've got children, right? I have children. Have your children ever had a slumber party

They have sleepovers and they have pajama parties. In fact, my daughter, Daniela, who just graduated the ninth grade and is going to the 10th, just had a bar

Is that your oldest child? No, my oldest is Marco. He's 26. So tell me about your daughter's slumber party

No, she had a, they did a barbecue where Daniela brought all of her girlfriends over and all of their ninth grade homework

and they put a big fire pit in the backyard and lit their homework on fire

They burned their homework for the year. We got a question, Joey

Yes, darling. Pajama parties are exciting for adults. We're having an adult pajama party today

But I have a 10-year-old daughter who loves to have sleepovers, like your daughter

And I just wondered, she wants to do themes. And besides burning homework, are there some other ideas that you might have for a pajama party

You know, I would think that you could have a craft slumber party

and, you know, get you all the stuff that you can make you, the cute little flip-flops, or you can have a beauty party

It's a miserable existence. And cut each other's hair. I stay at a hotel. I hate them

I want you to tell everybody about your movie, Canvas. Canvas stars Academy Award winner, Martian Gay Harden

We're having the world premiere in New York City in association with Fountain House, which is a clubhouse

and NAMI, which is the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Because Canvas is about..

It was based on a true story, correct? Joe Beckel wrote and directed it

And Joe's mom suffers from schizophrenia. And Canvas is about the effects of mental illness on this small American family

That sounds like an important story to tell, Joey. But all of this stuff

is stuff that I can eat now. So I eat a lot. In fact, I eat a lot

more than I used to. Joey, that is delicious. And also it's got a little

Italian in there because I use my fingers. Woo! You know, I'm what they call I'm

I'm politically direct. Politically direct instead of correct. Yeah, politically direct. You've got to tell the truth

The truth is in the details. We're supposed to be making a rap, aren't we

That's too much food, Paula. You put too much fish in there. But no, you can do it. I didn't touch the damn fish

Look at that. So you take that, and then the rest of it is a little garnish with whole wheat baked chips

so there's no oil in that. All right, you get these at the grocery store in the chip department

Uh, no, somebody that works for you got them. Oh, okay. Great

Well, they probably got them at the grocery store. Grocery store. All right, so you just pick this up like this

Yes, and then eat it. And you just eat it? Eat it. It's beautiful

It's clean. It's fresh. You know what? This would be wonderful with crab, lobster

You know what's good, too? It's salmon. This is great, Joey, but we got to take a quick break

But we'll be back in a minute at our pajama party. Joey Pants, everybody

This is fabulous, Joey. So far tonight on Paula's Party, it's been a pajama party to remember, y'all

Amy Sedaris just lit up my kitchen with something really cheesy. My audience got pampered, and Joey Pants crashed my party

with his Mahi Mahi wraps. Joey, that is delicious. Yeah, it's got a little Italian in there

because I used my fingers. And still to come, Amy Sedaris is back

and we're going to conquer her fear of making meringue. I don't know

You cook weird down here. Oh, my God

It's a fantasy. Oh, my God. Is it not one? I know

Lower, lower, lower. Hey, y'all. Welcome back. Tonight, we're having a pajama party here at Paula's house

Paula's house. Paula's house. And we've got our masseuses, and we're eating, and we're drinking, and we're gossiping

Oh, come on. Harder, baby. Harder. Take it. That feels great, guys

But you know what, Amy? We got some meringue to make. All right, now let's see if we can get ourselves out of here

Oh, okay. Thank you very much. All right. Well, my problem is I don't understand egg whites

Okay, well, don't worry about that because we're going to make the pie first. Oh, okay. All right, and you've got the stuff

This is that great, easy recipe from Lemon Merino. They always say that, but it's hard

Oh, it is. That's so easy. All right, how about passing me a fork, please, Amy

All right, we're going to take our one can of sweetened condensed milk

Wow. Ooh, nice and... And then don't confuse this with evaporated milk

It's like face lotion. So we're using three egg yolks. We mix that up

Yeah, we're just going to mix that up. Okay, and then... I mean, this is really so easy

All right, and into our condensed milk... Okay. We've got some lemon zest

Okay. And some lemon juice. We add it all? Wow, nice. Yeah, honey, just pour

It's just like your recipe. Very, very simple. Okay. But it tastes so good

I tend to. These are going to be real tart. These are going to be like you and me, tart

Okay. All right, you got it good. Oh, you use that kind of scoop

Remember the cafeterias when they use that for potato salad? Absolutely. All right, now look at here

we're using the little store-bought graham cracker crumbs because we're making everybody their own individual pies

Okay. So we're going to put these in the oven, y'all, and we're going to bake them for about 10 minutes at 350

Okay, but you're going to let it sit. No, we're going to let it sit in the oven

So we'll put it in our oven, which means do we preheat it to something? Yes, it's preheated

Look how fast it heated. Magic, magic, magic. Wow. Oh! And look how fast they cooled down They did cool down so fast Yes didn they That witchcraft you promised you weren going to use it today

I couldn't resist, honey. All right, so let's come over here. Now, why are you scared of my run

Because there are too many rules. It's like, is it too hot out? You got the bowls got to be clean

It never works for me. All right, you got your whites. Okay, got your whites

You've separated them from your yellows. Okay. Now, if you'll separate your eggs while they're cold, there's a better chance that the yellow won't break into the white

Because if you break any of the yellow into the white, it will mess them up

Okay. So you want to have a clean bowl, clean beaters. Okay

So far, I can't make it. Okay. Okay. So you want to, even though you're separating your eggs while they're cold, when it's time to make your meringue, you want those at room temperature

Okay, cutie? Really? Yes. Okay. Yes. All right. Rule number one. Okay

If it's raining outside, you do not make anything that requires them a rain

Okay. Because it won't work in the humidity. So watch the weather report

So we've got our egg whites at room temperature. We've put about a fourth of a teaspoon of cream of tartar in there. Okay

What does the tartar do? It stabilizes it. All right. Now come on over here

Okay. All right. Now, we're going to beat those. Here goes my massage

Okay. You're going to beat those until they form kind of soft peaks

See, peaks, that word. Uh-huh. No, see that? We already got them there for you

Oh, okay. All right. Now, you're just going to slowly add your sugar

Oh, okay. I didn't know. I don't know. You cook weird down here

Amy. Okay. Come on. Look at that. You have made perfect meringue. Woo

Look. See that button right there? Oh, okay. That one button on the top of the box

See that button right there? See? Woo! That's fine. All right. Now

Now. Now. You can do this a couple of different ways. Look, see, you got a bag down there

It just happens. Okay. There's your two little pies, and here's my two little pies

Don't touch my pie. Oh, goodness. Do not touch my pies. I don't like that

I don't like... I'm done. All right, I'm going to just do mine like this because that meringue has gotten soupy in there

All right, now, it's very important that you take your meringue and you seal those edges real, real good

And why is that important? Because so they won't shrink. Oh, sure, of course

You know. so you if you when your meringue shrinks you know it will have a oh so it's gonna shrink up

look look at those meringues beautiful look at your meringues and you have so much left over okay okay now for the fun part for where's the switch again

what'd you do i just mashed the button oh oh yeah oh just mashed the button i did you done

turned it off, Amy. Did I? I done turned it off. Did I

You want to apologize now or you want to wait until after the show? Mine's fine. Paula's got

a problem. I got it. Oh, you got it? Okay. It'd be funny

if I turned it on like that and burned myself. Not unless we're going to... Look at that

I like it that way. It's like marshmallows. You want to seal it

Seal it. Get it around the edges because it's going to shrink up

If you smoke anything, just light it up. You got great for kids at parties

Look at how beautiful my pies are, y'all. Wow. Wow. Aren't they beautiful

Wow. Wow. Look how beautiful. And yours is not bad either. Thanks, Paula

I heard that you give good... What? I heard that you give away gifts at the end of your party

What I do is when I clean my apartment, I come across things I don't want anymore. I put them in a big box

And then when I entertain, I make a display table and I sell everything for 25 cents

Because to pay for my laundry. And it can be half bottles of lotion, band-aids, dish detergent

You name it. I just want to get rid of it. And, you know, nine out of ten times I sell out of everything

and then I have money to do my laundry. I think you ought to have to taste yours

Oh, oh, I'll taste yours first. Mmm, wow. Good. Is it good

That's good. Oh. Wow. This is fabulous, y'all. Excellent

Don't go anywhere. For more party tips, hang on here with us

because we're having a pajama party. Don't go anywhere. Up next, you just cannot have a pajama party

without your best friend and your best burger. I love it. And later, my husband Michael stops by for coffee

and muffins, y'all. Woo

Let's go! Welcome back, y'all. Welcome to Paula's party. We're having a slumber party, aren't we, Tatter

We sure are, Hars. You cannot have a slumber party without your best friend

Can you? True, true, true, true. Come on. Diane and I, this is Diane Tether, y'all

We have been like sisters since we were 10 years old. Yep

That is 50 years. 15 years. 15. That is 15 years we have been friends

I know, Paula. We have had more fun in our life together, haven't we

We ought to write a book about it. I know it. Oh, I already wrote it. I know it. But I didn't talk about those days

No, you didn't. No, you didn't, sweetie. But Diane and I had more fun growing up together

And Diane has got this fabulous memory. She can remember everything. I can remember nothing

Nothing. So every time we get together, she tells me stories from our childhood

And I just like die laughing. Because, see, I'm like hearing it for the first time

I know. I said, Paula, do you remember this? And she goes, no

Tell me, tell me, tell me. I go, Lord. But you know, when they were talking about the slumber party

my mind started going, I'm going, God, the slumber party. Slumber party's the late 50s

Yes. Always were at Paula's house, you know, and we used to have the most fun

And, you know, you get in the slumber party and all the girls are there, but I guarantee you one thing, girl, we weren't wearing anything

Like this, were we? No, honey. We wore baby dolls. Baby dolls

With little spaghetti straps, and they were short pants, and they were thin, and they were low

And we were thin. Yes. And we were. We weren't so low

Sometimes we were. What? But listen, we'd get in the car, we'd push the car away

from the house. Right. So our parents couldn't hear the car crank. And we'd go to the crystal

Right. get us hamburgers 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning, and we would be in these baby dolls, y'all

We were safe as could be, though. I know, yeah, back then. You know, the times were so wonderful

Innocent times. Uh-huh, they were so innocent, and you just didn't have to worry about them. And for some reason, all the guys would know who was going to have a, you know, slum party

Oh, listen, the guys would start lining up before the party ever started, wouldn't they

All right. All right. Now, when we were growing up, my mother was a fabulous cook

She was. But she did not make this hamburger for us at our house

No, she didn't. You and Darlene and your mother made this a lot

Right. And what did y'all call it? Well, we call them, we call them onion burgers

Onion burgers. They were so good. The first time I went to y'all's house and spent the night

this is what we had for supper. That's it. And I just had a fit over them

And y'all, they're so easy to make. They're better. Whoa, where's our fire

There you go, Paula. All right, let's cut on your fire, baby. Let me light your fire

Light my fire, Paula Harris. Okay. So what we're going to do is we're going to take our hamburger meat

We're going to just scramble it up. Right. Drain the grease off of it

Definitely drain the grease off. All right. So after we drain the grease

You put about two tablespoons of flour. And what that does is just it makes it thick

Thanks, Paula. There you go. That looks good. And I've got some times

And y'all, this girl, the way you see her now, she's been like this all her life, all that I have known her

She is just... Nutsu! Nutsu! I mean, really. You know, what the world is finding out now, I knew a long time ago

Long time ago. Diane, remember the time we went horseback riding? I wasn't going to mention that, but I'm glad you did

And we couldn't. I was driving the horse, wasn't I? Yes. And you were sitting behind me

Yes. I didn't know how to ride a horse. I was trying to guide him, and I lost control

and he walked under a clothesline. Paula, Paula, Paula. And here Diane and I go back on that horse

and that clothesline's got me right here. This is the way we look. All right, show them, Paula

Come on. One, two, three. Like that. Y'all, the clothesline is right to our nest

Oh, he got real upset, but so what? But again. So what All right now we yeah tell them what we just added Thank you Paula All right We just added some French onion soup Okay can you smell it

Smells delicious. All right. Now, Diane, I've got hamburger buns out here for us

Oh, gosh, so good. And we ate it with mustard, mayonnaise, and a slice of onion

Big old fat onion, too. And I said, oh, Mama, I went home and I said

Mama, you don't know nothing about no cooking. Right. You ought to see what Miss Tatter cooked

Oh, yeah. All right, we've got a question, Diane. Well, I guess this would be more for Diane

We'll make sure we answer it honestly. Oh, I love that. Yes, sweetie, what

Now that Paula is such a celebrity and has more money and resources

does she still do a lot of cooking at home, or does she have somebody that comes and helps cook out

I haven't eaten anything lately that Paula has cooked. But because I don't live with her, and I live up in North Georgia

Yeah, she lives in Atlanta. You know, I guarantee you, if I went over there, she would definitely cook

And you can look at Michael. You know she's got to cook, and he loves her cooking

All right. We're going to use mayonnaise and mustard. All right, a little onion

Yeah. Onion. Onion. Now, Paula liked mayonnaise. I stayed away from the mayonnaise

Paula, first time she came with me. One of the times she came over to our house, we had some french fries

And we had, of course, ketchup out there and everything. Paula goes, Miss Tanner, do you have any mayonnaise

Mama says, well, yeah. And she goes in there and gets the mayonnaise and dips her french fries in it

I have never, ever seen anybody do that before, ever. Do you eat them with french fries, with mayonnaise to this day

Huh? Do you eat your french fries with mayonnaise? I used to, but I don't that much

Now you watch your weight. Yes, I do. I watch my weight. I got to. Listen, y'all are sickening

Let me tell you, something's going to get you. I know. I know

That's good. That's good, Paula. That's good. I'm 12 years old again. Oh. Oh

I love it. Oh. Oh. We'll see y'all back. It's Paula's slumber party

I got my boyfriend coming out next. My boyfriend's back. Coming up, coffee muffins to stay up all night

Have y'all had a good time? Okay I can believe our party is just flown by We had such a good time We got no sleep y You know I never ever remember having a sleepover

without your boyfriend slipping in. I mean, your heart would just get to fluttering

when somebody would say, Ooh, your boyfriend's here. He just pulled up

You'd just get so excited. I can't have this slumber party without my boyfriend

Come on out, boyfriend. Michael Groover. What you got in there

Coffee for the rest of you. Hi, everybody. So, how many slumber parties did you go to

I had quite a few spend-the-night parties. I bet you did. You had co-ed spend-the-night parties, didn't you

Oh, definitely, yes. We have a good time together, don't we? Oh, without a doubt

Never a dull moment. No, it's never a dull moment. And I'm very proud of you, Michael

You have come out with a great coffee. Captain Michael's full steam ahead

And it's really easy to get. This is not a commercial, Michael. Well, you know, every good cup of coffee, Michael, needs a good muffin to go along with it, doesn't it

So you brought me a couple of tablespoons of real strong coffee, didn't you

Right. Now I've got some bananas mashed up in here. I'm going to add sugar and eggs, nuts

Now, the thing about these muffins, Michael, you just dump a little soda, a little vanilla, a little salt, and some plain flour

And we're just going to stir our batter up. And we've got some muffin tins, don't we, right there

Yes, I'm going to holler for the coffee in just a second

The most important part. The most important part. All right, you can go ahead and pour in the coffee now

And that's not but a couple of tablespoons, just enough to give it that coffee flavor

All right. And you don't want to mix muffins too, too much

You don't want to overbeat them. So all you have to do, Michael, we got the batter ready

And you love banana nut, don't you? Oh, that's my favorite. There you go

Yeah, we got a question, Mikey. Yes, dear. Hi. How often do you all get to babysit baby Jack

Would you believe not nearly as much as I would like to I not able to be a typical granny because I working out on the road a good bit

but not nearly enough. I can't wait for him to get old enough so I can throw him in the suitcase with me

Okay, Michael. Now we're going to throw these in the oven, and we're going to bake them for about 25 minutes, 20, 25, 30, depending on your oven

And all you have to do is stick a toothpick in them and test them

And when your toothpick comes out clean, your muffins are ready. All right, now where's our coffee

The drink. Well, what else you do with it? Am I missing something

No, I don't have any. I must be missing something. Bring us some coffee

You bellowed. Here you go. Amy! Here, honey

Thank you, darling. Thank you so much. Here, Paul. Now, where's your cup

I don't drink coffee. I've got energy enough. Thank you. You know, unlike you, I don't drink coffee either

But you've got to start if you're going to be friends with Michael. Oh

Well, I do like tea. Where do you buy that cup? Oh, no, that's going on, man

Where do you buy it? Who's that? That's you? Wow. Y'all, Michael has lost 35 or 40 pounds, Michael

Close to that. How about that? Thank you. How'd you lose it

Amy, you'll appreciate this. Michael said he was sick of everybody in this family writing a book but him

So he went on a diet, lost all that weight, and said he's going to write a book

and we just have to buy it to find out how he lost it. So it makes me think that you just don't eat any of our food then, right

Well, I do. You don't break up. No, I eat our food. Interesting

But there's a secret, man. Pass me a muffin, please. Hey, um. Oh, wow

What are we going to call the book? How I Lost 100 Pounds Being Married to Paula Deen

Oh, my God. That's perfect. Wow. Well, how do you like those

Delicious. Aren't they delicious? I'll tell you what, Amy, I would just love for you to come back to my slumber parties anytime

And Michael, you're always invited. And until next time, what do we tell everybody

until our next slumber party? Best dishes. Best dishes in love! But it's not over until you have a pillow fight, right

Oh, my God, we used to have pillow fights, baby. Put it down! Put it down

Put it down! Put it down! Put it down! Oh, my tumors

These are beautiful! We'll see you later! Best dishes from Marshall and Barberny to yours
