S09.E09: Isaac's Story LIVE CHAT

[snarkish]

He's very sweet, and polite. I want to give him a hug. 

[ams1001]

"I'm at Dr. Now's to see him about weight loss surgery"

Yes, we know why you're there. That's the whole premise of the show.

I missed the number!!!!

Politely asking Dr. Now how he is and sounding like he actually wants to know the answer. Nice. Dr. Now's "thank you for asking" sounded like he doesn't hear that much.

Oh, 661. I was only 19 under.

Covid made me go gray, but I stopped dying my hair and suprise it's silver. Then one of my kids asked me who did my color lol. Who knew going gray was so stylish.

 

I got silver in the hair genetics, also. I like it. 
I hope all is well post-Covid.

Usually when they check references, a job offer will be in the future. You know, if your references don't tell them you showed up to work drunk and made copies of your butt cheeks or something.

But what about cooking fish in the microwave? That's a deal breaker right there

The entire front of my hair turned grey....people think I did it on purpose. I think I will keep it

[Pepper Mostly]

Dr. Now. You have to get a load of his family.

She pays good money to get that 'thousand-yard stare' look.

Not anymore, but she’s talented so she can work around that.

Mine won't turn silver, which has really disappointed me because it's the color of car carpet. Someone suggested a colorist to me recently "for a change".  I suspect that they assumed that I had been applying some kind of Dollar Tree boring brown for the past couple decades.

[Chicklet]

He seems so optimistic. I fear for him.

I had a coworker who once burned peanut butter on an English muffin in the microwave.  Worst smell ever!  It was even worse than burned popcorn.

[mk828]

So is he taking another $600 cab ride home in the same day? 

[ams1001]

You're the family cook? Cook healthy for the whole family, then. They all need it. 

[umgoblue]

Hey there, Peeps!  Finally made it!  Multitasking Zoom birthday party on one laptop, now streaming this episode with captions on another laptop (I am sure they are wondering why I keep looking to the left. Ha!), and chatting with y'all!

I am doing the most!

[Floatingbison]

$1200 transportation day.  Is the same driver going to take him back?  That would make the most sense. 

[hookedontv]

Dr. Now: How often do you eat? 
Isaac: I eat 2 meals and I snack.

Dr. Now: So you eat all day.

I color my hair auburn with henna, have since I was 21. I do seem to have quite a bit of grey now but I'll pack the henna on till I can't raise my arms.

My old boss burned microwave popcorn. Then the fire department showed up. Tre embarassing for her.

But you know he won't.  He will 'pity' cook 'delicious' food for his Mom whose health issues are probably 90% weight and only 10% actually cancer, and suffer himself and 'cheat' all the time.  I call bad first weigh in.

[Guest]

OMG I really wish they'd send a nutritionist or chef to the home to help these folks kickstart a new way of preparing food and shopping for the food. You don't just give them a handout and send them on their way. It's just a recipe for disaster. 

Look at me with the pun.

I opened a durian at work once, along w/another co-worker. The rest of the office hated us. The office manager called in a gas leak. 
My only excuse is stupid white person.

I was around 14 or 15 when I made Easy Mac one day.. Only problem, I had a brain fart and wasn't paying attention and forgot the water. That was the worst smell ever!!

When Dr. Now holds the book with himself on the cover wearing the same outfit, all is right in the world.

At the end of the trip, I would be able to say:  Driver, we're done here.

Dr. Now is showing him the diet book. I bet he's saying, "Here is my num one best selling book, 'How to Lose 50 Pound in One Munt.'"

I feel rather liberated not having to dye it anymore. Less trouble. And I always slopped stuff all over the bathroom then I had to clean it up ugh. Also ruined quite a few shirts. I'm a mess as a girl.

Er not that I was ever a boy, I just failed at girl lessons- can't do makeup worth shit, etc. But I make kickass puff pastry from scratch.

Dr. Now's picture is in front of the diet sheets. So they can look at him and be inspired.

Don't say 'vagina' about your mother. No. I'm old fashioned that way.

Exactly. The whole family could benefit. Isaac could take another look at his role of family caretaker, and help them all get trimmer and healthier.

When my brother was 12 or 13 he was boiling eggs and forgot he had them on the stove.  They exploded and stuck to the ceiling.  

The worst smell ever was when I had several potatoes rot into a slimy mess because I forgot about them when I went away.

I don't like the paper towel commercial where they act like the spill is nuclear waste.

It sounds like mom really leans on him and brings him into her health issues. I dont think that's fair to a young 20 something

So Hydroxy cut makes you look like you've been Photoshopped?

I use Colorsilk,(I love that brand, no ammonia, so it washes out of clothes, towels, etc, you just have to keep touch up paint, because it stains wall paint, or wall trim) and have been dyeing mine since the early 90's.   My real color is flat, dark brown, no highlights, no variation, and when the gray came in, I thought it looked fantastic.    Then I went to a fancy salon for a spa day, and the very nice hair stylist said it looked 'harsh'.   Actually it made my flat brown hair look black, so with the silver I looked like Pepe Le Pew.   I started coloring then, (I'm too cheap to go to the salon unless I have to), so I'll stop dyeing my own when they pry the dye bottle out of my cold, dead hand.   With hair color, I have the color I always wanted to have. 

So 661 lbs., that's only because he's only 23.   By 35 or 40 (if he made it that long), he would have been in the high 700's or maybe 800's.   How sad.

Hi All--late to the chat.  Isaac looks like Ken Marino + 400 pounds!  He might clean up nice.

Oh my god, join the club. I tend to do things like coloring my hair very merrily. Stuff goes EVERYWHERE.I too have ruined my share of shirts. I also ruin them while cleaning, I'm always doing things like splashing bleach on myself.

My husband started going grey in high school!

My husband had white hair as a child; it turned a blondish brown, then after the birth of the first child, it went back to white.  He said it was the sudden responsibility of being a dad.  He was 30.  I thought he was unusual, but your husband has him beat.

[7EasyPayments]

Thanks Geico ! Now every commercial has to be humorous (NOT!) / absurd / with bizarre ass "characters".

NO SALE !!!

I'm trying to decide if my eating habit should include Milano cookies.
