The Assanti mother must have major issues too, although I can see how she would want to get away from them she must have played a part in creating these monsters.

[Snarkastikate]

Jesus Christ you lousy rotten excuse for a father, stop trying to get your tainted offspring to be friendly to each other.   You're frigging sick and twisted to keep on trying.

Steven, Justin showers and has a job. You can't even go to the grocery store. Methinks Steven is the jealous one

[PrincessPurrsALot]

FFS Steven is only on his own because he can't get himself back to Rhode Island.

Justin should never talk to Steven.  Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, Tiffany, ever.
(Flavor of Love callback!) 

Flavor of Love was one of the first trashy reality shows.

My 26 year old son adores Manhattans, which my 91 year old mother remembers as her first legal drink when she turned 21! 

My late father's favorite drink was a Manhattan.  He would be 91 if he were still living.

Steven very intentionally makes himself as repulsive as he possibly can.  By purposely not bathing, by purposely not covering his nightmarish legs, by pulling out his hair.  He's the most disgusting human being ever in this show.  Dr Now's office had to be fumigated after he left.  The father is a horrible man, and honestly I just can't blame the wife/mother of these dumbass creatures for bailing out.  Doesn't matter if she was an alcoholic or not The family dynamic is just shocking.  

I'm thinking that the roots of Stevens psychosis goes all the way back to abandonment issues.  And then the father had no idea how to raise either of them.  

[sainte-chapelle]

Now I want bourbon...or a dirty martini

I have no sympathy for these Uber-breeder families. I’m a bad person that way. 

What is entertaining about watching a bunch of feral children running around, screaming? Every single promo is the parents shrugging their shoulders foolishly and looking at the camera with stupid, sappy grins on their faces, then cutting to a bunch of children screaming. Shudder.

They need therapy. But Lola wouldn't be able to get that smell out of her wigs.

I remember drinking Manhattans at the Copacabana in NYC. Many years ago. Was a high point of my drinking/clubbing life.

Am I remembering correctly - was the mother an alcoholic? Or did she just need to leave the wonder of New England that is the dad? It's unusual for mothers to put that much distance between herself and her children, even if she can't stand living with the husband any more.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Actually, Steven's therapy was with Dr. Paradise.    That was right after the golf cart 'fall'.   

[PrincessPurrsALot]

Wow, another riveting skype call.   The zombie apocalypse had not started and yet we have a skype call.  

[goofygirl]

Justin seems a LOT more mature than Steven, so there's that.  I think he should just stay in Rhode Island and be done with it.

I AM sorry to see that Steven is still in my hometown!  Can he puleez go away??

[Honey]

Why didn't that dog move at all?  Justin takes the table for his videochat, then moves the table back over the dog, and the dog doesn't even move his head at all.  I think Justin really did sit on him, and they had him stuffed.

Yes, she's an alcoholic if what they said on the show is true. I'd really like to know her story.

Hahahahahaha

Or her walls!

I think these two are way beyond her skill set.  Writing FN letters would not be able to scratch the surface with these two.  They need intensive, residential help to even function somewhat normally in society.

They also need a voice with plenty of bass...baby talk will not suffice.

[7EasyPayments]

Feel the sweet sting of cognac and crème de menthe in the classic Stinger cocktail.

Ingredients

2 ounces cognac

1 ounce white crème de menthe

Steps

Add the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir.

Strain into a rocks glass over crushed ice.

So many memories drinking these, it is a wonder I can remember at all !!!! 👀

And then they’re shocked that they actually have to parent. Or pretend to parent, while the children start eating the furniture. 

[MsVixen]

Off topic but how in hell did the advertising world produce all these Coronavirus related commercials so quickly?

I was trying to remember if they got therapy on the show. It must not have worked.

The fun thing about Baileys is that it looks like chocolate milk. Cheers! 🥂

[Splashes]

Good evening pounders! I forgot about trash tv night so Im a bit late!

[Snarkastikate]

I remember when Dr Paradise had to to try and talk some sense into Steven after he took that amusing phony rolling fall off the golf cart.  He was there screaming he needed an ambulance to get his painkillers I think.  I'm not sure but I do believe he got that ambulance trip.  OMG I remember how vile and rude he was to the hospital staff.

My mother's dad took her out and bought her a Manhattan on her 21st birthday. I was telling her that my son liked them and she said "Its a very tasty drink!" Seriously the hipsters are all over the classics.

I recall the boys lived with the mother for awhile, and she was pretty dreadful.

The Ad agencies are making a killing.  I noticed the same thing a few weeks ago.  The second the first person in the US had the virus the commercials hit the air.

Whose children are eating furniture?

What a flat affect Justin has when Dr Now asks if he has more energy

[ams1001]

Steven's blood test showed high levels of opiates?! Who's shocked? 😐

[Kid]

Yep, still using.  Poor Cupcake!!

The girlfriend has a daughter???   She is going to inflict him on a child????  Somebody should have called child services and I am not kidding.

Edited May 28, 2020 by Kid

[Gbb]

I KNEW he was on something 

[sagittarius sue]

Hooray, due to drugs Dr. Now is finally saying, bye Steven.

[FormeryHeavyJ]

He met a woman.  Can't wait to see this mess.

[Chicklet]

Is the GF a blow up doll??

[umgoblue]

Was anyone surprised about his drug use?

[CrazyInAlabama]

I hate the Outdaughtered, and the other family of a lot of kids commercials, and the 7 Little Johnstons are pointless.   

What a shock, Steven still on opiates.    I think this is just outtakes from the last update show. 

Oh heavens!   That poor child that calls him Daddy.

What did that idiot do to his left eyebrow?   Love the handcuff necklace.   How appropriate. 

OMG!   Did I have to hear that?

I'm glad he's getting blood tests. What would he be like without drugs?

[ams1001]

I cannot imagine bringing that...person...into my (hypothetical) child's life.

[Splashes]

How the fuck did he get a girl friend?

[goofygirl]

Lawd, Stephanie has NO LIFE!!! What is she? A MORON??

[DropTheSoap]

My eating habit was baked chicken thighs and cauliflower. 

Steven failed a drug test? No wai?!?

Meeting world’s most desperate woman? I’m in shock, too. 

[umgoblue]

Ahhh....we finally get to see the wife.  Get ready PepperMostly!!

[Armchair Critic]

I already feel sorry for his girlfriend’s daughter, can you imagine having your mother take him home?

[Guest]

I just got home from work and ... why are there handcuffs on his lanyard?

Also, what kind of horrible mental illness does one have to have to have sex with this cloven-footed, walking garbage dump?
